Hello 2Fly. Congratulations! I really would like to know your secret. Do you weigh and measure your food? Do you exercise? Are you at restriction with your fills? How many fills do you have? I have already reached a plateau after only 6 weeks post op. I exercise, I do not eat as much although I do not have restriction. Any advice will be appreciated.

wow- way to go. I have followed your weightloss pictures for a while now and am really impressed and can't wait to be so excited. I have read some of your previous posts and can answer some of the previous posters questions because I have been so inspired by you!!! I know that 2FlyGuys measures every single meal in a 1/2 C glad bowl- those plastic disposible ones that you can use over and over. She concentrates on Protein and it keeps her full for 4-5 hours- she eats three times a day. Also- she works her butt off and runs 2 miles and power walks 4 miles- I don't know how often but I betcha it is close to 7 days a week. I think she was pretty structured from the minute she had her band and has been working hard for 9 months- not sure about when she felt she reached restriction or how many cc's she has or how big a band BUT I think she accomplished quite a bit on sheer willpower!!! You look great and thanks for sharing and providing some much needed motivation!!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
